In the Devil’s Garden: A Sinful History of Forbidden Food by Stewart Lee Allen is now available for free ePub download or online reading.<\/p>\n
Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n Deliciously organized by the Seven Deadly Sins, here is a scintillating history of forbidden foods through the ages\u2014and how these mouth-watering taboos have defined cultures around the world.<\/p>\n From the lusciously tempting fruit in the Garden of Eden to the divine foie gras , Stewart Lee Allen engagingly illustrates that when a pleasure as primal as eating is criminalized, there is often an astonishing tale to tell. Among the foods thought to encourage Lust, the love apple (now known as the tomato) was thought to possess demonic spirits until the nineteenth century. The Gluttony \u201ccourse\u201d invites the reader to an ancient Roman dinner party where nearly every dish served\u2014from poppy-crusted rodents to \u201cTrojan Pork\u201d\u2014was considered a crime against the state. While the vice known as Sloth introduces the sad story of \u201cThe Lazy Root\u201d (the potato), whose popularity in Ireland led British moralists to claim that the Great Famine was God\u2019s way of punishing the Irish for eating a food that bred degeneracy and idleness.<\/p>\n Filled with incredible food history and the author\u2019s travels to many of these exotic locales, In the Devil\u2019s Garden also features recipes like the matzo-ball stews outlawed by the Spanish Inquisition and the forbidden \u201cchocolate champagnes\u201d of the Aztecs. This is truly a delectable book that will be consumed by food lovers, culinary historians, amateur anthropologists, and armchair travelers alike. Bon app\u00e9tit!. First published February 26, 2002.
